Interactive festive dining experience where guests dine as a guest in Ebenezer Scrooge's home while he is visited by three ghosts.
The Lost Boys are bringing A Christmas Carol back to The Old Bell Hotel this December, with the run starting on 3 December and continuing through to 17 December. It's a festive dining experience that's played to over 3,000 guests and is the venue's fastest-selling Christmas event, so it's worth getting your dates sorted early.
The premise is simple: you're dining as a guest in Ebenezer Scrooge's own home while he prepares for another lonely Christmas. As you work your way through a three-course meal, Scrooge is visited by three ghosts, just as in Dickens' story. It's an interactive, Dickensian evening of entertainment, and the organisers do warn that it contains adult humour, so it's more of a grown-up take on the carol than a family singalong.
The setting is part of the draw. It's held in the Tudor Bar at The Old Bell Hotel, 51 Sadler Gate, DE1 3NQ, which is one of the most atmospheric rooms in the city. Having the meal and the performance happen in the same space is what makes it a dining experience rather than just a play you watch from a table.

Each night runs from 7.30pm to 10pm, and the whole thing is billed as a sell-out, so if you're planning to go, it's better to book your spot sooner rather than later.
